FAQ - I am having difficulty with my ex-spouse or ex-boyfriend/girlfriend regarding custody issues. Can I get the County Attorney's Office to represent me in a custody dispute?

No. The County Attorney only represents the St. Louis County Social Service Department in child protection cases. If you have concerns that your child is being abused or neglected, you should contact St. Louis County Social Services. If you simply need legal representation in a custody dispute, you may contact a legal aid program or hire a private attorney.
